I visit the city several times a year. With the exception of a couple of clients I have in Brooklyn, Jersey City and the financial district, I rarely stray from Midtown and take the E train to Queens (Laguardia) if I'm not in too much of a hurry to get back to the airport.

I love to eat everywhere, the steakhouses, sushi, indian and visit the jazz clubs and a couple of the hotel and restaurant bars...if I'm not being completely hedonistic, what else should I do in the city when I have some time?

I am quite fond of visiting the etnic enclaves. However as your time is limited you can visit the most ethnically balanced community in America Elmhurst Queens. That Community is 1/3 Chinese 1/3 Latino and 1/3 Eastern European. It is amazing to visit the entire world in one community.

The Strand Bookstore is a must. Reviewrs copies are half price downstairs. However, the real joy is going through the aisles and finding old books that have been forgotten. You can buy Mitchner hardovers for five dollars each. The prices on non fiction are more expensive but still a great buy.

You should also visit the vibrant Russian community in Brighton Beach. The resturants are top notchand this serves as a reminder to those who say Russians can not build thriving businesses. They do not take kindly to Ren and company so leave him home.

A guilty pleasure is the Forbiden Planet. They carry old Comic books Sci Fi toys and nostalgia items. They are expensive but it costs nothing to look.

1 I am not a cat person. Earl was a temporary guest due to a cold spell.

2 I have no children.

3 None

4 I do not eat omlettes. I cooked many in the hotels in the mountains as a teen.

5 Zero.

6 No

7 Hillary has been a far leftist nut since her days at Yale. Hillarycare alone and her idiotic mentor Rabbi "LSD" Lerner should be sufficient. She has moved away from Lerner as soon as she saw that he was a real liability in NY.Her comments about moving away from an "ownership society are clear. She is closely tied with mindless meglomaniac George Soros.

8 I do not bandy about philosophy.I approach things from a historical perspective. All that is relevant about Marx is its history of creatio of needless death and repeated episodes of treason.

I am a simple man and a mere pot of boiled ckicken with rice, garlic, celery, cocktail onions and cocktail potatoes with a touch of Cajun spice is simple.

If I am in NYC, I always look for the Jumbo Stuffed Calamri in an Italian Resturant. The Clamari is stuffed with crabmeat and served in a tomato/redwine sauce. I am also fond of the great Cuban Resturant Mi Bandera in Union Cityand the Korean Barbeque joints in NYC.

1 Union Square is probably the most Marxist place on the planet. I observed the group dynamics of the denizens of the area for years and concluded that these people have more cult element than rational thought.

The best way to cure this malady is to deport them to North Korea and let them live under their madness. People who live under communism learn to despise it quickly.

2 I was a fan of the 2nd Avenue Deli. I also like the Pastrami King uptown and followed it from Queens. However, the Stage is still the best.

No the left needs martyrs to the cause. The Rosenbergs are religious icons and the facts are just irrelevant.

The left has turned Norman Finkelstein into an icon as well. The hysterical cries of witch hunt would be funny under normal circumstances. However, being that there are maybe one thousand Communist anti-semites in higher ed saying the same thing this becomes comedy. Finkelstein's real claim to fame is being the worlds only Communist hack fired four times. This is some sort of recordin the Old Bolshevik Network.

Lawrence Auster is correct about Breindel and this rabid hysteria about neocons is typical of the anti-semitic far left. Breindel hada severe problem with chronic pain and unfortunately did use heroin.

The basic premise is that Breindel was arrested for possesion of heroin. This ended his aspirations for higher office. However, this addiction does not define his life, just as Ted Kenedy's battle witch alcohol define his. Breindel's health problems were very real and he died at a very young age.

Breindel was a gifted writer whose column Kristalnacht in Crown Heights propelled Rudy Guliani into the mayors office and possibly the White House. The gift of Breindel was that he was unafraid to call a Communist a Communist and he dealt with anti-semitism directly.

Breindel is one of my major influences and models. The other influences are Bob Grant, Mark Levin, David Horowitz, Dr Yeagley and the great Richard Poe.

5 Rudy will win the election and it will not be close if he runs against Hillary.

6 The Duck will become the most insane of all polical creatures the anarho-liberterian. I have read interviews with Murray Rothbard and we should consider using this material to torture suspects in GITMO.

Please Sahib not more Murray Rothbard the man is a bore. I would much prefer to have electric shock than to read the inane musings of Murray Rothbard

7 Jimmy Carter blamed his defeat on the Jewsish Community. This is odd as the Jewish community voted for Carter.

He has looked jealously at the post Presedential rehabilitation of Richard Nixon. Nixon worked with the sitting Presidents and not against their policies.

Do note Bill Clinton turned to Nixon for advice frequntly and never asked Carter for anything. Carter has tried to remain relevant by catering to the far left as a visionary. However, what we see is a senile bitter man who is irrelevant.

The expression on his face when the caller on CSPAN slapped him around was classic.

I’m enjoying your responses. 1. Correct, Union Square beats Havana as a Marxist stronghold. Cubans have had to suffer under communism and have no romantic notions about this social system. 2. I’ll keep Stage in mind. 3. The Rosenbergs were hard core Stalinists since their undergraduate days at CCNY. Yet they will always be noble victims to those on the left only to be replaced by Rachael Corrie for the younger generation. 4. Auster is right and it’s good to see him stick up for Breindel. 5. Rudy better win! 6. That beats my prediction. I should have talked about Murray when I talked about the hate-America libertarians. I think I have in the past. 7. Carter is the new Ramsey Clark! 8. A farce indeed. 9. Sad but true; the GWB library will be built first unless #5 is correct. 10. I totally understand.

I am influenced by the writing of Alvin Schmidtt. Schmidtt points out the Western Civ you and I enjoy comes directly from Christianity.

Most religious Jews including my own family prefer Christians keep their own faith. In fact I have never heard of a Jew who practices the faith ever complain about Christmas displays on public property.

Christianity in its tradional aboriginal form is the fulfilment of the Judaic phrophecies.I have never heard any anti-semitic comments from practicing Christians of various denominations who have welcomed me into their Churches and homes.

I do not consider the minority that practices "revolution theology" or "progressive dispensationalism" to be genuine Christians. These movements attemptto hide Marxism and support governments like Cuba that persecute Christians. I am even more vocal about he Jewish variants of the same movement. In VT I was invited to one of these fake congregations and said no thank you. The conversation turned hostile when I was asked for a reason.

Left to their own devices Christians create Schools, Orphanages, Hospitals and all types of community outreach program. The critics of Christianity build gulags and police states nobody wants to live in.

To hate Christianity is to hate Western Civ. I do not dismiss that many times my people were victimized in the path towards building an enlightened society. However, our way of life and the societies we built are the envy of the rest of the world.

About Me

I am a Rudy Republican . The
peril of being a moderate is
that at times you get hit from
both sides. Some say I am at the edge of the great GOP tent. Radical leftists call me a rightwing extreemist.Yet in the end all we can ever be
is ourselves.
